About Be The Village Foundation

---

Hey, I’m Brynn. Founder, President, and professional chaos coordinator behind Be The Village Foundation.

I started this organization because I was (and honestly still am) the mom crying in the bathroom, wondering how anyone does this without help. I’ve got three feral, beautiful, exhausting kids under 8, a forever-messy house, and a deep belief that no parent should have to survive this season alone.

I’m the kind of mom that when you text me "Im losing it! The baby wont stop crying and I haven’t eaten a hot meal in three days", I'll rush to your house, 36 weeks pregnant myself, with a home made casserole and a ring sling. The kind of mom who will do a grocery run and deep clean the house while your in the hospital recovering from a c section. The one to show up when you are in the thick of it with a bucket of cleaning supplies and groceries. Helping with the kids, cooking dinner and helping clean, then chatting till 12am because that third baby just hits different. I do these things because I’ve been there, and it truly makes me happy to help.

I run this foundation in a mom bun that could qualify as a safety hazard. A wardrobe consisting 90% of pajamas, usually covered in some combination of something my kids wiped on me and snack dust. But my heart? It’s in this 1000%.

Be The Village exists because parents deserve support that’s real, raw, and shows up when it matters  even in the middle of the night with a trash bag and a lasagna.

My name is Kelly! I’m a mom and a marketing professional, constantly juggling nap schedules, campaign deadlines, and everything in between. I couldn’t do any of it without my village. My friends and family are the reason I can show up to anything at all. So when Brynn came to me with the idea for this nonprofit, it wasn’t just a brilliant idea…it was the most Brynn thing ever. A little thing about Brynn, she goes all in on everything she does. Just last year she was nine months pregnant, due with her son just four weeks after I had my daughter, and she still found time to meal prep for me when I was overwhelmed and recovering. That’s just who she is. And that’s what this nonprofit is about—showing up for parents the way Brynn showed up for me.
